    A blue week for `splittists'

    By William Meldrum

    Saturday, Jun 11, 2005, Page 8

    It's been a truly blue week for pro-unification splittists here in the Republic of China on Taiwan (or whatever.)

    Now that Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan's (連戰) political funeral is underway, it is clearly time to prepare for the real funeral of his military backer, General Ma Ho-ling (馬鶴凌). As a man of honor, he will surely keep his word.

    As for his unfilial son, who recklessly carried on with his candidacy for the KMT chairmanship despite his father's promise to kill himself should he do so, he must be punished for acts against Chinese culture, namely wannabe patricide.

    Cry-baby People First Party (PFP) Taipei City Councilor Mike Wang (王育誠) continues the tradition of the PFP's elected officials bearing false witness for political gain in the manner of their shameless mentor, PFP Legislator Diane Lee (李慶安).

    All, mercifully, is not lost for the Greater China green card clique: Lien dynasty scion and lumpen rapper Sean Lien (連勝文) will carry the torch into the wild blue yonder (when he gets back from launching a ship in the People's Republic of China).
